My Causes

I learned at an early age to always give back to those who may be less fortunate than me or one who may be in dire need. My mother, my role model, always did that. She often gave to family members by making small donations or putting food on their table. It wasn’t only family members she helped; she often gave to various humanitarian causes. I remember when I was in elementary school, my mother “adopted” a boy from Vietnam. We often received letters from him via the organization that sponsored and followed him while he was in school. I also remember her donating to Indigenous American causes, primarily anything to help children. I have carried those same values into my adult life.

 My passion runs deep for several social justice causes and often support their efforts through the purchase of products or donations. I am most passionate about our environment, the health and well-being of children, and mental illness. Although my donations are small as an individual person, I believe together we can make a difference in helping these organizations and our society. So, I invite you to donate to any of the following four social justice causes by adding a few dollars at checkout. Together, we can make a difference!
